How to compare two different tools?

Hello, in this post I would like to know how I can compare two tools, if the name of a tool is the same or if it is different, or if it is that tool.Name that I am looking for.

Example of this:

if tool.Name == "toolName" and tool.Name2 == "toolName2" then end

if tool.Name ~= "toolName" then end

How could you make these comparisons? any ideas?

hey i can help but my idea so … stupid
ok you can dublicate tool name this and put in teplecated storage and in script put this is inventory

#3

do you mean if two tools have the same name?
if so then do this:

local tool = -- add here tool1
local tool2 = -- add here tool2
if tool.Name == tool2.Name then 
   print("same")
   -- do stuff here
end

oh ty! and how could I use the elseif in this case? to compare with a different tool

#5

You could just simply check if tool.Name ~= tool2.Name, adding just another elseif statement if the original if statement didn’t return true

local tool = -- add here tool1
local tool2 = -- add here tool2
if tool.Name == tool2.Name then 
   print("same")
   -- do stuff here
elseif tool.Name ~= tool2.Name then
    print("different")
   -- do more and more stuff here
end

Of course, if you’d want to compare a tool with other tools you could reference it inside a table

local String1 = "Hello"
local String2 = "Hello"

if String1:match(String2) then
	print(true)
else
	print(false)
end
